Hi Ryan,
Yes, the Beast is. Challenge for sure! The local RD and Ironman parted ways in 2017 - then Hurricane Maria hit and devistated the island.
This year’s race will be held on Dec 2nd - cooler temps and a better time to visit from colder climates. And 100% of the proceeds will be given to local charities who were impacted by the storm. See https://stxtriathlon.com/.
Drop me an email at scott@vitf.org and I’ll give you more info.
